Video Description:
Trial runs with passengers in Fuji, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. (Jan 21, 2007)
静岡県富士市の岳南鉄道線でのデモンストレーション走行（2007年1月21日）
In the year 2000, Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido) began developing a prototype DMV (Dual Mode Vehicle) 'minibus' that will carry 25 passengers and can operate as a train, running on tracks with steel and rubber wheels, as well as a bus, driving on roads with conventional tires. Now nearing completion this remarkable hybrid will be able to take advantage of existing rail track through more developed areas and then shift to roadways for operation in less-densely populated areas. Overcoming the main obstacle to this kind of service it can change from one type of wheels to the other in 10 to 15 seconds! (JR NEWS Aug 9, 2006)

The prototype seem having some problem about the balance. Quitly dangerous as we see that was having about no winds and the minibus was balancing side to side.
However, i hope that theese prototype goes more far and fin a way to adapt this kind of transport to any climate. It could be a good way of transport if security part were more worked.

Considering the time it takes to drop the hi-rail wheels on to the tracks, and all the geopolitics of having to talk to dispatch to get clearance to enter the RoW, I don't see it as being very efficient. I don't see it even passing a kaizan audit.

why does it sound like a lawn mower? Does it usen a separate small engine to raise and lower the guide wheels and train wheels. Is the vehicle electric??

Ok, I heard the begining. I hear the deisel. I figuer its too complicated to tap into the deisel to control the other stuff. this looks like its been retrofitted.

I don't understand the concept of this. Couldn't the people just tack the regualr trains? Is this supposed to be environmentally safe or something?
The idea is to ... ( 2 months ago by HSMiyamoto)
The idea is to lower the cost of passenger rail service on lightly-traveled branchlines. That is one reason the bus is so narrow, and it does not seem capable of high speed or powerful enough to pull an articulated section.
this concept was ... ( 1 month ago by px712uf)
this concept was already being used in the 1950s: 15 "Schi-Stra-Bus" were running from 1953 to 1967 in different places throughout Germany. One of these is on display in the railway museum of Bochum-Dahlhausen
